| Abstract | ||
| This study investigated the impact of functional training on blood pressure, pulse rate, and the performance of Kanku Sho kata sections, the authors used an experimental approach with a single group, conducting pre- and post-measurements, the participants were selected from kata competitors and members of Egypt’s national karate team qualifiers (senior category, under 18 years old) registered with the Egyptian Karate Federation, for 12-week functional training program consisted of 48 sessions, incorporating high- and low-intensity methods to enhance physical and technical performance, the results revealed statistically significant differences (at a 0.05) significance level) between pre- and post-test scores in performance of Kanku Sho kata sections, The average performance grades showed notable improvements, with enhancement rates of 15.32%, 17.80%, 11.09%, 12.61%, and 17.72%, respectively. Additionally, blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) improved by 5.12% and 7.17%, while pulse rate increased by 6.08%. | ||
